Margaret Watroba

Margaret Watroba fell in love with the mountains and dreamed of climbing the Himalayas as a young girl—she has since attempted to summit Everest Base Camp four times.

'Mountains have spirts. I don't conquer it, I ask it to allow me to go. The biggest part is conquering yourself. Mind and body—there's no other assesment other than you. It's like torture to some extent.'
